Anchors

November 10, 2017

I have never been the cliche white girl obsessed with anchors. In fact, I have never truly been a fan of them overall but something about them has rang true today. Amidst the chaos that is life, I have found people who are anchors in my life.

People who weather the storm with you. People who remind you why you get up everyday. People who remind you why you are doing what you want to do what you are. Sometimes that can be a huge blessing in disguise that we often overlook.

Maybe for you it's a sibling, a best friend, a boyfriend, a girlfriend, or in my case a new friend. My Birthday Buddy has become a new friend that I can depend on when need it. He has truly been this blessing in disguise of how the Lord can work in mysterious ways.

I have officially decided he is a male version of me almost exactly. Yet, he is so different and is a source of clarity when I need it. We laugh and screw around to destress when we both are read to throw ourselves off a building. Fun fact: being science majors is not easy. We are learning that the hard way but we are making it.

I encourage you to find someone that makes everyday worth it. It does not have to be a boyfriend or girlfriend but people that just make you feel better about your life. People that pour into you in ways that make you feel worth it.

Who is anchoring you in your life?

xoxo,
Em

Rule Ten

Yesterday, my dad sent me the beginning of the rules he lives his life by or life lesson he has learned along the way. I appreciated all of them but the last one stuck out to me in particular. Rule Ten: Remember where you came from and who you are.  As I have really pondered this idea since I started school, I came back to it yesterday. Who am I? Where do I come from? What do I want to represent in life? These are questions that beg for answers far greater than I can suffice. I spent all of high school wondering who I was but found my stride in college. Quite frankly since coming to professional school, I have started to wonder the same thing. How do I live like Jesus and love the people around me when it is the exact opposite of the culture? Don't we ask ourselves this all the time. Or maybe, it's just me. As a Christian, I constantly ask myself how do I live as Christ in a world ran by the devil? I really don't have an answer. Shocker. I don't know everythin...

Lust and Loneliness

As I am sitting in Panera eating lunch, it dawns on me that I was having a whole conversation with myself this morning about a post I was going to write. Needless to say, I didn't actually remember until right now. Since I visited my alma mater (that's weird) this past week, I have had to do a lot of self-reflecting on where I am in this stage of my life. Most people, either friends from undergrad or pharmacy school are married, engaged or in committed relationships and I am sitting here single as a pringle. Let me tell ya it does not feel good. However, one of my friends, I'm not sure which told me that to find the relationship I desire that I need to have joy and contentment in this stage. That really got me thinking about where I am and who I perceive God to be in my life. So often, I find myself angry that I prayed for something and God didn't answer my prayer or do so in the timely fashion I had hoped. This causes me to put God in a genie bottle and say that I ...

Genie in a Bottle

I wonder how many times a day I ask God for something. How many times do I ask for him to do this specific thing so I can love Him more or be a "better" Christian? Most days I don't keep track but when I do, it's too many. I constantly ask for things. I feel like I treat God like a genie in a bottle. I pour in requests because I want this or that out of my life. Then I get upset because I don't get what I want from God. Then I will stop and think, I'm so selfish. Who am I to treat God as a genie? I need to reorder my priorities in life. Such as yesterday. I got so upset at some really small things with my lab or my third class for  school. All these small voices that I couldn't make it. I don't have what it takes to make it through school. I was put school before God. School was my idol. So I started asking God for all the things I needed for school. I put God in a box or a bottle to get what I thought I needed for school. Boy was I wrong. When...
